It's Baking Next Door

Well, I've been cooking up COOKBOOK-L's new home at TypePad next door to where CookBookie lives. I decided COOKBOOK-L needs its own space, so it gets a blog of its own. Yesterday evening and today I've been assembling and tweaking it.

It will have its own URL http://www.cookbook-l.com moved to its new blog site in a few days. Meanwhile, it can be accessed via its TypePad address http://noodlefactory.typepad.com/cookbookl.

I started COOKBOOK-L a few years ago when I was a semi-newbie online. Besides just loving cookbooks and wanting a nice place to play, I planned to use it as a low key marketing vehicle for my book, the Zondervan Family Cookbook, and to sell cookbooks I'd bought from someone closing down their cookbook newsletter.

But, one of my early subscribers, a very nice guy, wanted to help cookbook lovers who didn't have a lot of money buy lots of books. He offered a substantial discount for just about any cookbook available from wholesalers. I couldn't compete with his discounted books, at least not and make any profit, and I couldn't ask him not to do it. It was a special project for him, and he was very generous and sincere. So, I still have those books in my basement, in closed plastic boxes, keeping very fresh and new. Want some?

Meanwhile, COOKBOOK-L continues as a special place to talk cookbooks with others, share information, and buy and sell a bit on Market Day (Wednesday). There are now, as of this minute, 279 cookbook enjoying subscribers on the list. When you subscribe, there will be 280.

Just found your recipe for Tunis cake. What a lifesaver! I have a colleague at work who remembers this from her childhood and still enthuses about it now, although she can no longer get hold of it. I am waiting for one to finish cooking so I can decorate it and take it in to work tomorrow for her. She'll be thrilled!
